It’s the post-holiday season – that time of year when everyone suddenly becomes hyper-conscious of the fact that he or she has consumed WAY too much chocolate and sweets over the vacation. And, instantly, everybody adopts the mantra of I. MUST. EAT. HEALTHY. But, does anyone really want to eat healthily? Unless you’re that one weird freak (you know who you are), probably not.

January is also the time of year when we must return to school. The renewed stresses of extracurriculars and homework mean that it’s more important than ever to keep our blood sugar levels in the proper range (for non-diabetics, that’s between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter). And, what’s the best way to do that? Obviously, it’s to eat peanut butter cookies (unless you’re allergic to peanuts, in which case, don’t)! But, who has time to make peanut butter cookies? Probably not you. Unless, of course, they’re 3-INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!!!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup of peanut butter

1 cup of sugar (low-glycemic whomst?)

1 egg

PROCEDURE:

Preheat your oven to 350˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this means that you don’t have to wash the pan later, and it also helps the cookies bake or something? I don’t know, I just care about the lack of dishes).

In a large bowl, mix the ingredients together. That’s literally it.

Roll the dough into roughly 1-inch balls and place them on the sheet. Use a fork to make that characteristic criss-cross on top (you know the one I’m talking about).

Pop ‘em in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Don’t over-bake them (unless you like burned cookies, I guess), as they’re best when they’re still slightly chewy.
